the other trouble with flash is with most modern browsers as default the security settings are set so you have to click on a flash object for it to work/play | |

most people will want some idea of a final price though, or atleast a sensible estimate. I would never get a job started without one as otherwise too many people out there will try to come back and charge you a fortune :mad: | |

I work on per hour, only true way to get what you deserve. I make an excel document for every job, note down what i was doing (eg making initial ideas for a flyer) and then how many hours it took. Then if the client questions your charging you have that to fall back onto. | |

quote: Yeah, I've worked with osCommerce before for another guy so I knwo how it works and stuff anyway. He sells furniture. Ian - Whether he's doing well doesn't make a difference to me - he's a mate so I'd do it cheaper for him anyway!! Flash would only probably take me an hour...style sheet about 1-2, images 1-2, buttons, table headers 1-2, PHP, probably about 4-5. So all in all about 13hours ish in total...plus another hour adding on what work is to be done, emails, conversations etc...so 14 in total... Charging is the one thing that always baffles me...I am doing work for lots of people at the minute, but never know the 'standard' to charge people, per hour? per document (Letterhead, Business Cards for example) website (Per hour, per webpage) - :boggle: | |

quote:You answered your own question. Style sheet is 2 hours. Images another 2. Flash - 2-5? Buttons/table header dont know. Menus - depends if this is in the dynamic stuff, perhaps 1-2 hours PHP you need to know what you are programming. Small bit might not be. Probably 20 hours. 500 quid? | |
